Sprout creates new turtles from the current patch, and must be used within an ask patches [...] context. It takes the form of sprout number-of-turtles [ optional-commands ]. Unless specified in the commands, the new turtles will have random headings and colors. After being created, the turtles run the commands one at a time, in a random order. Sprout-<breed> can also be used to create turtles of a specific breed. For creating new turtles from existing turtles, see hatch.
